CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Police are investigating the death of a two-month-old baby on the city's East Side late Wednesday night.

Paramedics were called to an apartment in the 6900 block of Carson Avenue about 11 p.m. and found the child in full cardiac arrest. She was taken to University Hospitals' Case Medical Center where she later died, according to the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's online database.

Police were notified because the child had a bruise on her back and homicide detectives responded to conduct an initial investigation, a police spokesman said.

Police detectives routinely investigate deaths of children, but the spokesman could not confirm Thursday morning if the death will continue to be investigated as a homicide.

The medical examiner's office will determine the child's official cause of death.
